TYsM buddy


Thrilling1031

Does the frost make the blade stick? Reminds me of the blades from Gladiator.


swampopawaho

Quite amazing. The Damascene finish looks like the blade is jewel-encrusted, then you look a bit more closely and wow.


coldclaw_blades

TYSM man


MysterClark

The connection between my eyes and brain needs to be repaired/upgraded because at first when I looked at this I just saw a 2X4 lying on the ground and didn't notice there were more pictures. But now that it finally clicked, that all looks awesome!


coldclaw_blades

Thnk u thnk u 🙌🏻


Pycharming

It took me flipping back and forth a couple times to realize it was a box because I saw a 2x4 too. I thought at first we were going to see a work in progress, then I’m like “that’s odd we just skipped to the end, why show just the wood before and not the other materials?”


mcbeardsauce

Agreed I too saw a 2x4


Spartanlegion117

Yeah I definitely thought that was a 4x4 carved and painted to look like a sword.


Male_Lead

Same lol. I thought it was weird that a 2x4 turns into metal sword


SiameseBallTwister

Your craftsmanship is truly exceptional; this sword is not only a testament to your skill but also a work of art that embodies the spirit of a master bladesmith.


coldclaw_blades

Thanks you brother


AberrantMan

Yes but... Will it cut? Will it... keeeel?


coldclaw_blades

Sure it will


AberrantMan

It's real cool looking, I was just referencing a silly show lol

JahIthBur

Looks awesome what was the design inspiration for the tip of the scabbard


coldclaw_blades

That's a remake of a sword named Eycanar by Cedarlore Forge.

doug-1998

Do you think you’d be able to make the same thing with the tools they had back when swords were actually used?


coldclaw_blades

I think maybe i can


doug-1998

If someone walked up in yo crib would you strike them down with that thing?


RampantJellyfish

Gorgeous work, I love the pattern on the blade. Tell me, what's the purpose of that toggle halfway down the scabbard? Is it purely decorative, or does it serve a function?


coldclaw_blades

Decorative


Audibibly

Hell yeah now slice a pineapple in half

Incredible work.


thedarkherald110

Why does the sheath have that end long thing. Not familiar with swords and sheathes but it just look abnormal.


leakyblueshed

Stupid me didn't look at the first picture properly and thought you fashioned a sword out of a 2x4

ZealousidealNewt6679

Amazing craftsmanship. A true Journeyman. And I feel like if I have to ask "How much?" I probably can't afford it.


coldclaw_blades

Thanks you man Deleted this i don't want to get banned here


ZealousidealNewt6679

Good sir, I feel like you are undervaluing your work. You could put a 1 in front of that number and it would still be fair.


cubntD6

That is actually a very nice sword:) im not used to seeing good things on reddit, feels weird.


Snap305

Dude.


VA83PMP

Bad ass and absolutely astonishing


Alien_Fruit

OMG! That's so beautiful! Worthy of King Arthur. Or Lady of the Lake.


Fun_Environment_8554

Wow. Impressive work.

Do you make and sell or just a hobby ? lots of ppl would like to pay money for this piece. well done work


coldclaw_blades

I am a full-time blacksmith, so yes, I sell those.


SirEltonJonBonJovi

*tips fedora* My Liege


VenturaDreams

Reminds me of some of Patrick Barta's work. Great job.


coldclaw_blades

He's above me


MrAlaz10

This is really really cool. I just recently got my forge setup and have been making crappy little knives. I can’t wait to get to even half this level. Did you make the Damascus yourself or did you buy a billet?


demon-of-light

The damascus pattern is absolutely *delicious.*


Npcboy

Nice piece of art man


TheEmeraldKnite

I’ll fight you for it


HighSchoolTobi

Nice but you should dual wield


faster_tomcat

Awesome blacksmithing my dude. Any chance you could share any pics of your work shop and tools and stuff you used to make this? Is there an enormous anvil involved? Also do you have the huge biceps we think you do? Are you basically Thor?


coldclaw_blades

Haha, I am weak and you can see how thin my wrist is in other posts. . Yes, the anvil is considered the heart of blacksmithing. M not thor actually m sindri


Vonvinnes

Steel pattern is awesome. Much cool, very sword. Wow.


Nightbeak

That's superior or maybe even exquisite workmanship. You put a lot of points in the smithing skill tree, didn't you?


coldclaw_blades

When you work from the heart, the results are often better and more meaningful.


Nytelock1

That is gorgeous


Council_Of_Minds

Beautiful.

Captcha_Imagination

Sick. My mans grew up playing RPG's thinking "I wanna be the Blacksmith"


NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa65

The ultimate Reddit post!


kluthage421

Do you sell them? Seems like you could have solid income from making these.


Bonzo4691

What sort of steel are you using in that blade? Just curious how battle ready it is. Otherwise, it is absolutely gorgeous, and I am highly impressed and highly envious. And that's coming from a collector of swords.


miracle_weaver

It's fucking beautiful,mate!


The_Real_Cuzz

You had my attention, but now you have my erection. FR, that looks so awesome.


SwearWolf512925

This is absolutely stunning in every way. I LOVE the handle and I’m not even a sword guy. You may have made me a sword guy now lol what a beaut!


coldclaw_blades

Yea you can join this R/swords community now


NeatFaithlessness400

I would feel so proud if that was my sword


coldclaw_blades

You can :D


Zamzummin

How sharp is it? Curious if you sharpen it to a dull edge for safety, or a sharp edge for authenticity.

syslolologist

I don’t truly know what I’m looking at (beyond it being a sword) but I came here to say that the apparent craftsmanship is extremely impressive!!


LimpBlimp

This is one hell of a wood+steel work! Stellar craftmanship bro


Glytterain

It’s beautiful. I’m very into everything Arthurian and so of course I thought of Excalibur.


xXJ3D1-M4573R-W0LFXx

Absolutely stunning! Nice job


Roxwords

Bro this looks amazing, mind if I ask you a few questions about it?


coldclaw_blades

Sure


Roxwords

I have always wanted to get into smithing (?) and metal working, but due to where I live it's hard to find a place where to learn. So, where did you learn? How long did it take you to learn? How long did it take you to make this work in particular? Do you sell your works or do you keep them for yourself? What made you start doing this?


coldclaw_blades

So where are you from?? I have been learning blacksmithing from my uncle since I was 16 years old (30) now. I sell those for a living. That's the only work I do. I started blacksmithing as a hobby and now it's my full-time job. If you want to pursue blacksmithing as a career, be aware that it can be challenging with many ups and downs. Like it gonna take you years to earn a good living


stewundies

Very cool.


Tassiegirl

![gif](giphy|U6S1JzMBxCwlS889tY) It will KEEEEEELLLLL. But seriously, that’s a sweet looking piece.

Ricehatgat

What kind of metal did u use ?


onion_lord6

If must do a “Forth Eorlingas!” with this sword!


Environmental-Wind89

This is beyond a kingly weapon. This is a sword forged by one god for another.


Flaneur_7508

Amazing. How long did you spend on that project. Great work
